Cass is the first hospital in multiple sclerosis, which used an innovative model in the treatment of aortic stenosis
Minimally invasive operation carried out this Friday (4) in Cassemm Hospital de Campo Grande This meant the beginning of a new era in the treatment of aortic narrowing in Mato Grosso to Sul. The procedure was performed by the femur artery, for the implantation of Reslia’s prosthesis Edwards Sapien, is the most modern, arrived 20 days ago in Brazil and we are already able to do this implants in Campo Grande.
According to Dr. Diego Silveira da Costa, a hemodinamic doctor and intervention cardiologist responsible for surgery, the novelty is significant progress for high -risk patients who cannot undergo conventional heart surgery.
“This prosthesis does not replace heart surgery, but expands the treatment capabilities of those who once had little alternatives. It has the same material and the functioning of prostheses used in open operations, with technology ensuring greater longevity,” explains the doctor.
The patient used the new technology, is 56 years old and should be discharged on Saturday (5), less than 24 hours after the procedure, which is a clear sign of faster and safer recovery provided by a slightly invasive approach.
From 2016 Cassemm Hospital de Campo Grande He has already made over 100 valve implants with slightly invasive techniques. Now, with the arrival of a new prosthet, the hospital additionally consolidates its reference position in structural heart interventions in the state of Mato Grosso to Sul.
“This is a milestone. 20 years ago this technique was created to serve those who did not have a surgical chance. Today, thanks to the new generation of prosthesis, we can offer the quality and safety of even more patients. CASSEMS The use of pioneering hospitals in Brazil is using this technology, “says Dr. Diego Silveira da Costa.
What is aortic narrowing?
Aortic narrowing is a state in which the heart aortic valve is narrowed, which makes it difficult to transmit blood and require more effort in the heart to pump. It is a progressive disease that can cause fatigue, chest pain, and in severe cases lead to sudden death if it is not treated. The final treatment in many cases is the replacement of the valve, or the open operation or transcat implant, as in the case of today.
According to Dr. Diego Silveira da Costa, a new prosthesis opens the door to treat younger patients and less aggressive access to treatment. “Thanks to this technology, we can dream further. We run a new phase of intervention cardiology,” he says.
A successful procedure and a short hospitalization time are motives for celebrating the team and a relief for the patient and his families. “It is satisfying that we can offer the best in the world, here in Campo Grande,” sums up the cardiologist.
